Just once in my life let me get what I want
'Cause I couldn't face the day if you weren't here by my side
Just once in my life let me hold on to
But if you'll stand by me, girl, I'll keep peace of mind
Girl, don't let me down
Once in my life let me get what I want
Just once in my life let me hold on to
Baby, say that you'll be stayin'
Just once in my life let me get what I want
Yes, I'll work hard everyday all my life you will see
And if you went away then I'd be left without any pride
Just once in my life let me hold on to
Oh yeah
If you won't leave me baby, don't leave
I've given up on schemes 'cause every one fell through
The good thing I've found, don't let me down
I've given up so many things, don't ask me to give up on you
There's just one round I've got to win, I can't be a loser with you
Just do this for me, baby
Just once in my life let me hold on to
That old pot of gold ain't so easy to find
Baby, say that you'll be stayin'
Baby, say that you'll be stayin'
Girl, don't let me down
And baby, baby
Just once in my life let me get what I want
Girl, don't let me down
The good thing I've found, don't let me down
There's just one little dream I've got to make come true
And baby, baby
I can't give you the world but I will work hard for you, girl
The good thing I've found, don't let me down
Please don't leave me oh no don't leave
Girl, don't let me down
